I have been seeing people ask crazy prices for them locally and the ads don't seem to last long, cept that set of La Scalas that they want $4500 for! Those haven't sold, but they've come down about $1000 already. 🤣 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dude Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 Those appear to be verticals, which were also Cornwall IIs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, the "collector" referred to them as 2's in the CL ad, but they are really II's--as in a representation of the horns being vertical Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tinnitus Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 The prices and availability of vintage Klipsh speakers varies greatly depending on location, as we know. I read of members commenting on picking up Heresys for $400 and less or LaScalas and Cornwall’s for $1,000 or less and I’m envious. I’m located in Maryland’s eastern shore and those prices are unheard of. I have several pairs of vintage Klipsh and I would have several more (including these) if I could find them locally at the prices I see in the Alerts. Most of you are fortunate to live in areas where they are apparently more plentiful and affordable. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know if it's the case with this 1968 pair, but on some of these earlier Cornwalls the grille is not on a separate board held on with velcro. Instead the material is wrapped around the motorboard, so you can't easily pop it off for a photo. You can see the outlines of the vertical horns if you enlarge the photos. Of course, you'll see a lot more by taking off the backs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
